Massachusetts State Police assist SWAT and local police with armed, barricaded suspect

“Our members were called to assist Lowell Police and their regional SWAT Team with a call regarding a barricaded and possibly armed subject on Westford Street.

The State Police Bomb Squad, or EOD, deploys with local, regional, and federal assets regularly on these types of calls.

Many local towns would otherwise not be able to handle certain types of calls, and our members are happy to assist them and their communities. Thankfully, yesterday’s standoff ended peacefully. This resolution was only possible thanks to the combined effort of our members and the other law enforcement partners on the scene.” -State Police Association of Massachusetts.
